It's time for @ReclaimedSoul with Ayana Contreras! She's playing some of her favorite records straight from her personal collection from 8-10pm... Tune in at 91.1 FM 📻 Vocalo.org/player
To be clear, anyone who tries to paint me as bitter about the fate of #vocalo seriously misunderstands my motivations here. Everything I did around Vocalo, and by proxy WBEZ, was for the community. The community had lovingly expressed our impact. I'm just reflecting that love.
Landlords often use many LLCs, so it's hard to understand who they are & how much they own. Mitch & I built a website solving this problem in Milwaukee. Enter an address to view all the companies connected to it plus their eviction & code violation rates mkepropertyownership.com

@gretamjohnsen @MariahWoelfel @NerdettePodcast I’m so sorry Greta. Nerdette is an absolute joy in no small part because of what you’ve put into it for years. Whatever you do next I will still be a listener and admirer of your work ❤️
I and my @NerdettePodcast colleagues are among the people laid off yesterday. there’s a lot to figure out, but we will still be making the show for a bit yet. thank you to the hundreds of people who have reached out with their support. your kind words are such a comfort.
Chicago Public Media, which oversees WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times, announced layoffs at both organizations amid declining fundraising, listenership and philanthropic support. trib.al/WTwlFXn
16 Shots was the first podcast I ever listened to as a staunch print/web news consumer. i don’t know if WBEZ management realizes the gaping hole they’re leaving in the city’s storytelling fabric by cutting the podcast unit

.@WBEZ leadership just announced the elimination of our podcast unit, the end of the Vocalo radio broadcast and the layoffs of 14 people. It's only been two years since we were big enough and financially healthy enough to acquire the Sun-Times.
This news is beyond devastating. What a loss for Chicago. Vocalo and shows like @NerdettePodcast are what made @WBEZ so dynamic and unique. It’s so unfair. My heart goes out to all my old colleagues who are hurting right now.

@chicagotribune I have never been a reporter who sits around waiting to get spoon fed a statement or spun. I talk to a lot of people and read as much as I can. It isn’t rocket science but it’s important for society. The end result — THE CITY IS UP FOR GRABS — is available now in bookstores.
@chicagotribune Through FOIA, I obtained four years worth of emails and text messages from Lori Lightfoot to key players in city and state politics as well as civil and uncivil society. This allowed me clear access to how things unfolded that otherwise might not be accessible.
Vocalo is like summertime all the time. Life-giving, soul-affirming—I love you, Vocalo
"The job cuts coincide with the debut of a $6.4 million, state-of-the-art studio at WBEZ’s Navy Pier office and follows a double-digit-percentage pay increase for Chicago Public Media’s top executive."
Chicago Public Media, which oversees WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times, announced layoffs at both organizations amid declining fundraising, listenership and philanthropic support. trib.al/WTwlFXn
Just firing off tweets today: When I moved to Chicago 14 years ago I didn't know anyone. Nobody. WBEZ showed me what this place is about, how things work here. Reclaimed Soul taught me how to listen to the city. Losing any part of this vital cultural asset is...devastating.
WBEZ SAG-AFTRA said in a statement that the move "contradicts CPM’s stated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion — both at WBEZ and to communities of color that we serve." chicagobusiness.com/marketing-medi…
In the same email WBEZ leadership says we need to "participate in our diverse communities," they cut so many of the people on our staff who do just that. @Vocalo @WBEZUnion

As @davemckinney reports, Matt Moog "is a lame-duck CEO now overseeing those layoffs that he said wouldn’t happen," and they come after he took a nearly 19% pay bump to put him at $633,310 a year. wbez.org/stories/chicag…
